I have to disagree with the previous three posters. The leopard does not change it's spots. The Yankees just completed a lucrative radio deal to go with their YES money. They are loaded with cash, but not with quality players. The farm is barren. Today , Cashman already started to back track on his plans. He said that getting under the cap was a "goal" , but not a " mandate." Look for them to be big spenders this winter , especially if they can get A- Rod off the books.

There is some evidence that they are serious about trimming payroll. Exhibit A is last offseason. They let guys like Swisher, Martin, and Ibanez walk and added virtually nothing. In fact they haven't really added much since the Sabathia/Teixeira/Burnett orgy.

The difference is that this year they missed the post season.

Agreed, but they had to know they weren't looking very good coming into this season.

If they're going to spend big money this offseason it would have to start with signing Cano, and that will be a major chunk right there.
